Where to watch Sassuolo vs Napoli in the Serie A for free?

A highly entertaining match can be expected when Sassuolo play host to defending champions Napoli in their first match of the 2025/26 Serie A campaign at the Mapei Stadium on Saturday evening.

These two sides have faced each other on 23 occasions in the past. Out of that, Napoli have come out as the winners on 14 occasions, and Sassuolo have only been able to pick up two wins. In their last five matches, Napoli have won on all four occasions. Their most recent game took place in February 2024, when Napoli came out as 6-1 winners at the Mapei Stadium. In fact, the last time Sassuolo were able to defeat Napoli was back in November 2020, and their last win at home against Napoli was back in 2015.

After having secured promotion back into the Serie A, Sassuolo are now looking to start their season strongly to make a statement of intent. They're heading into this match on the back of a 1-0 win over Catanzaro in the Coppa Italia first round, having some momentum behind them.

Napoli proved their quality in the 2024/25 season by clinching the Serie A title in thrilling fashion, but the onus is now on them to defend their championship valiantly. Napoli were able to win six of their seven preseason matches ahead of the new Serie A campaign, and are heading into this opening game of the new season on the back of a three-match winning run as well.

Fabio Grosso is going to be missing some important squad players for this upcoming match against the defending champions. Laurs Skjellerup is out with a muscle injury, while Kristian Thorstvedt is also a major doubt with an injury issue. Edoardo Iannoni is out with a suspension as well. Grosso will need his side to maintain a really sturdy defensive shape to frustrate Napoli, but will encourage free-flowing attacking transitions to start the season with a bang.

Antonio Conte is also dealing with a few unfortunate injury issues plaguing his side. He will not have Romelu Lukaku available for the first few months of the 2025/26 season after the Belgian forward sustained a thigh injury, ruling him out until at least October (2025). New signing Miguel Gutierrez is also recovering from an ankle injury and is unlikely to feature in this one. Conte will urge his side to control the game and be decisive with their work in the final third to entertain fans with some attractive football and get a big win to kick off the new campaign.
